Morocco to Receive 1 Million AstraZeneca Vaccine Doses Ahead of Vaccination Campaign

"One million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine will be shipped to Morocco on Friday (January 15, 2021), if all goes well," confides a public health professional to Le360. The Minister of Health, Khaled Aït Taleb has not, for the moment, confirmed the information. He is rather playing the card of caution. "I don’t want to announce a date to you. All I can say is that we will have visibility in three days," he said.

According to the entourage of the minister, Mr. Taleb preferred not to specify the date of receipt of the AstraZeneca vaccine because he remains traumatized by the previous false promises received from the Chinese laboratory Sinopharm. "He has been promised so many deliveries that now he wants to wait to receive them before believing it," whispers this public health professional.
